🎶 Now this is a story all about how
Our playground flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute—just sit right there
I'll tell you who's keeping playgrounds cool everywhere!
In Breckenridge Elementary is where we have recess aides
On the blacktop is where they spend most of their days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool
Keepin' the peace at recess and enforcing the rules
When a couple of kids, who were up to some fun
Started shootin’ some hoops and makin' a run
They gave one little glance, and the aides got there
They said, “Let’s keep it safe—NO tag over there”
They blew their whistle, and when they came near
The whole playground paused like “Hey, they’re here!”
If anything, we could say that these aides are rare
Keepin’ things cool with style and flair!
So here’s to our aides—let’s give them a cheer!
They keep recess fun and full of good cheer,
Recess ladies, we’re SO glad you're here!
Whether it’s mysterious sticky substances that defy science, a code brown in one of our wings😂 boogers, or the struggle against the rogue paper towel avalanche in the bathroom — they show up, clean up, and somehow do it all with a smile. 😎
They don’t just clean up our messes — they clean up our lives. Let’s be real: if “cleaning up other people’s messes while staying incredibly cool under pressure” were a superpower, they’d already have their own Marvel franchise. 🎬
To our custodial staff: you’re the behind-the-scenes MVPs.
Any current 5th Graders interested in cross country next year there will be a meeting today at 4 pm at the bench outside the HS gym today!

🚨🥚 Egg Drop Results Are In! 💥🚨
After weeks of planning, building, and a lot of egg-citement, our Egg Drop Competition is officially wrapped up!
Students tested their physics skills by designing creative contraptions to protect their eggs from a high-flying fall off the football bleachers 🏈⬇️ Using concepts like momentum, impulse, and air resistance, they proved that science can be both smart and messy!

Breckenridge Athletics Weekly Update [May 25–31]
Seasons Conclude with Pride, Perseverance, and Podium Finishes
The final week of May brought the spring sports season — and the 2023-24 school year — to a close for Breckenridge Athletics. As Huskie athletes laced up their cleats, spiked their final races, swung for district wins, and faced fierce competition at regionals and state finals, one thing remained clear: this group has left a lasting mark. From a track & field state champion to a historic softball rally, a strong golf season, and competitive baseball, our student-athletes ended their year showing the grit, growth, and sportsmanship that define what it means to be a Huskie. As the summer offseason begins, our Huskies are staying focused on growth, improvement, and the work it takes to keep moving forward.
Track & Field
Tuesday @ Clare – Mid-Michigan Meet of Champions

Golf
Wednesday @ Mount Pleasant Country Club – Regional Match
The Huskie boys golf team wrapped up a stellar season at the MHSAA Regional match. Competing against tough regional competition, the team placed 9th overall with a score of 381. Blaze Snyder led the way, with an impressive 86. Noah Barr and Derek Becker both shot 97, while Carter Suhr and Dylan Davenport rounded out the scoring with 101 and 105, respectively.
While Wednesday’s round wasn’t their strongest of the year, the Huskies consistently dominated the regular season, finishing in the top 5 in 9 out of 10 matches — winning 6 of them outright. Even more exciting? Every single golfer from this lineup is expected to return next year. The future is bright for Huskie golf.
Baseball
Tuesday @ St. Charles – Pre-District vs. Michigan Lutheran Seminary
The Huskie baseball team saw their season come to a close with a hard-fought 6–4 loss to Michigan Lutheran Seminary in the MHSAA Pre-District round. The Huskies battled through all seven innings but came up just short.
Gavin Corbat pitched six strong innings, striking out seven and allowing just two earned runs. He also led the offense with 2 RBIs. Keegan Suhr and Noah Barr each collected two hits to pace the lineup.
The loss marks the end of a season full of growth, fight, and team-first mentality. This group has much to be proud of and has built a strong foundation for the future. The entire team will be returning next season.
Softball
Friday @ Merrill – District Play
It was a dramatic finish to the season for Huskie Softball, who opened the District round with a commanding 7–1 win over Fulton before falling to a strong Fowler team in the championship game.
In Game 1, Breckenridge wasted no time, exploding for seven runs in the first inning. Highlights included:
A 2-RBI groundout from Emma Tinson
RBIs from Brooklynn Long, Presley Butcher, Lydia Slavik, and Adyson Collins
Collins also starred in the circle, allowing just one hit and no earned runs while striking out 8 over 7 innings
Leah Wale led the offense with two hits
In Game 2, the Huskies faced off against perennial power Fowler. Despite a gritty effort, Breckenridge fell 7–0. Adyson Collins again pitched well, giving up just two earned runs across six innings. Butcher and Slavik each picked up a hit.
Though the season ends, the team showed remarkable toughness, chemistry, and clutch play when it mattered most.
As another school year wraps up, we are incredibly proud of our student-athletes across all programs.
Thank you, Huskie Nation, for your support all year.
Go Huskies!
